    I switched from Google Maps to Organic Maps after trying a bunch of alternatives, didn't know about CoMaps then; but since I learned this is a fork of my favourite big tech alternative i've been postponing installing this. Seems like there are a lot of people positive about it here, so couldn't postpone any longer. It's installing as we speak.

    I just downloaded it to try it out. I'm missing the options Google Maps gives for routes though. The map app doesn't always know best, so it's better to give a few options imo.

        I do wish more things I used would move to matrix or IRC. Perhaps I just need to refuse to use discord

            Inferred from another comment that it's CoMaps. Looked it up to confirm:

              If you like Organic Maps, you’ll love CoMaps, and the righteous indignation you have every time you use it if you place their icons side by side or make a donation.

              (Organic Maps was promising, but has made shady and unilateral decisions without community input or even notification).

                    For public transport i prefer to use HERE, which is owned by a bunch of car companies i believe. Might also be good for navigation by car i wouldn't know. But although i havent found a big difference between Comaps and Organic Maps i'm inclined to continue using it.

                        I've recently gone back to using osmand~. CoMaps doesn't support GPX navigation (can only display the track), which is really important for preplanned cycle tours. And I don't drive enough with a car to gauge the navigation there.

                        Still a great project, it just doesn't fit my personal needs at all.

                                  I know I'll probably get a serve for this, bit I use HERE WeGo maps. I know it's proprietary, I know it still tracks data. But it's not Google, and I always use offline maps and navigation. I just can't get behind the ugly UI of OSM, Organic/CoMaps etc.

                                  I'm on GrapheneOS so I can setup scopes for network access if it needs permissions β€” it works without network permission, I just enable it to update maps periodically. It also works with android auto.

                                  Of course, if you're comfortable with OSM or CoMaps UI then that's the better choice. I'm just sharing my experience.

                                      It's currently hit by the "tethered network services" anti feature, which is hidden by default.

                                      They are working on removing the anti feature

                                        Which one can completely ignore since Mastodon covers that format and is higher on the list. Besides Bluesky is open-source and has third-party apps.
